00:00My mom taught me two things.
00:01First, trash goes in the trash can.
00:03Second, if you kill someone, make sure no one can trace it back to you.
00:07You'll kill me! You'll go to prison for this!
00:09Prison? No.
00:10You'll just have an accidental fall onto a blade,
00:13just like how your hand was ruined in an accident ten years ago.
00:18You're even crazier than your mother!
00:21Wrong.
00:23I'm her perfect masterpiece.
00:27When I turned five, a beautiful woman showed up, sticking closely to Dad.
00:32One day, she cornered me in the garden.
00:34You know your mom's getting old, right?
00:36Her hands shake now.
00:38She can barely hold a scalpel.
00:39Your dad and this place will be mine.
00:41I didn't fully get it, so I went and repeated every word to Mom.
00:46The next day, that woman was all over the news.
00:49The young star shooter had a sudden accident.
00:51Her hands were crushed.
00:53Nerve damage, permanent.
00:55Mom was in the study, wiping down one of her silver scalpels.
00:59Sienna, I took out a piece of trash for you.
01:01Do you like your gift?
01:04Dad, when did you get back?
01:05He headed straight for the study, and kicked the door open.
01:09Audrey Monroe!
01:10Was this you?
01:12Jane's hands are ruined.
01:13Her whole life is wrecked.
01:15Do you have any idea how much she matters to me?
01:18Mom looked up, her eyes dead empty.
01:20She was trash.
01:22I took her out.
01:23So what?
01:24You...
01:24Dad was shaking.
01:26Really shaking.
01:27He pulled a black handgun from his side, and pointed it right at Mom.
01:31She's a genius!
01:32The best shot in the entire army!
01:35And you destroyed her?
01:36My legs gave out.
01:38I knew that gun.
01:39I'd seen Dad use it at the range.
01:41He never missed the bullseye.
01:42I tried to shield her with my tiny body.
01:46Dad can't hurt Mom!
01:49For one second, his eyes changed when he saw me.
01:51Just one second, the gun dipped a little.
01:54Mom pulled me into her arms fast.
01:56I could feel it then.
01:57Her heart was pounding.
01:59But she laughed.
02:00A small laugh.
02:01Cold.
02:01Mean.
02:02I see.
02:03She matters more to you than your own daughter.
02:05Dad's face went red, then white.
02:08He lowered the gun, put it away.
02:10But the look in his eyes got even colder.
02:12Audrey, I'm disgusted by you.
02:14Jane looks up to me, that's all.
02:16She did nothing wrong.
02:17You're the problem.
02:18You can't stand anyone near me.
02:20Starting today, she's moving in.
02:22I'll take care of her myself until she recovers.
02:24You owe her that!
02:25Then he turned and walked out.
02:28He didn't even look at us again.
02:30I stared at his back as he left.
02:31Tall.
02:32Straight.
02:33Covered in honor.
02:34But for the first time in my life, Dad's medals didn't shine anymore.
02:38The next day, Jane moved into our house.
02:40Dad pushed her himself.
02:42She was in a wheelchair.
02:44She got the guest room right next to Mom and Dad's bedroom.
02:47Dad hired top-class private nurses.
02:50He even worked in Jane's room.
02:52Vincent, this is all my fault.
02:54If I hadn't looked up to you so much.
02:57If I hadn't stayed so close to you.
03:00Dr. Audrey wouldn't have gotten the wrong idea.
03:02My hands don't matter.
03:04As long as I get to see you every day.
03:07That's enough for me.
03:08Jane was a damn good actress.
03:10When Dad was around, she played weak and sad.
03:13Dad's face was a mask of guilt and pain.
03:16Don't worry.
03:17She's going to pay for this.
03:18But the second he walked out, Jane's whole face changed.
03:23Her eyes turned sharp.
03:25She ordered the nurse to go into my room
03:27and throw every single one of my dolls in the trash.
03:31A five-year-old still playing with baby toys?
03:34How pathetic.
03:36Tell Audrey this is just an interest.
03:39Her precious little girl?
03:41I'll take care of her.
03:42I ran to my mom, crying my eyes out.
03:45She was watering her orchids.
03:48After I told her everything,
03:50she just looked at me and said it in the calmest voice.
04:14I didn't fully understand her.
04:17That night, the house filled up with doctors in white coats.
04:20They were Dad's subordinates.
04:22They were Mom's colleagues, too.
04:24Dad thought Mom was backing down.
04:26He actually looked relieved.
04:27At dinner, Mom raised her glass.
04:30Elegant.
04:30Perfect.
04:31I invited you all here tonight so you could witness this.
04:34Ms. Jane Hayes suffered severe injuries in an accident,
04:38resulting in permanent nerve damage to both hands.
04:41As a doctor, I find that deeply tragic.
04:43So I've made a decision.
04:45I will personally oversee all of her future rehab for free.
04:49I'll use every resource I have,
04:51and I won't stop until she is fully recovered.
04:55Dad's face changed quickly first.
04:57Then Jane's.
04:59Letting the monster who destroyed Jane's hands be the one to heal her?
05:04That wasn't a cure.
05:05That was a torment.
05:07That was putting Jane's dignity under the scliple,
05:10slicing it away piece by piece.
05:14Dad almost blew up right there,
05:16but the room was packed with big names.
05:19Top brass from the military.
05:22Top doctors from major hospitals, DAW,
05:24so he swallowed it.
05:26Adrie, you.
05:27What's the matter, General?
05:30You don't trust my medical expertise?
05:33Or are you suggesting I'm seeping, seek you ache,
05:36some kind of personal revenge?
05:39Then she looked around the room, straight at the doctors.
05:42What do you all think?
05:44Dr. Monroe is one of the best in the world.
05:46Of course we trust her.
05:47Absolutely.
05:48If she takes the case herself, Miss Hayes should be grateful.
05:50Dad's face went dark.
05:54He knew exactly what mom was doing.
05:56She had him cornered, and he definitely couldn't admit she was getting payback.
06:01Because if he did, he'd be dragging family dirt into the open.
06:06He'd be admitting he couldn't control his own house.
06:13For a man like him, that was humiliation.
06:16Jane sat there in the wheelchair, shaking with rage.
06:20Beneath the bandages, her hands awakened in pain.
06:23She glared at my mom, pure hatred in her eyes.
06:27Audrey Monroe, don't get too smug!
06:30Vinicent won't let you get away with this!
06:32She walked over to Jane's wheelchair.
06:36Miss Hayes, relax.
06:38The first step in nerve rehab is electrical stimulation.
06:42Don't worry, I'll handle it myself.
06:44I'll make sure the voltage is just right.
06:47Electrical stimulation.
06:50That wasn't treatment.
06:51That sounded like torture.
07:03God damn it, that's enough!
07:05Audrey!
07:07Do you really have to take it this far?
07:10I'm the one taking it too far?
07:13Vincent, when you brought this woman into our home, did you stop and think about me for one second?
07:19When you pointed a gun at me for her, did you remember I'm your wife?
07:23When you let her bully your daughter, did you remember you're supposed to be her father?
07:28You did this, step by step.
07:31You're the one who pushed it this far.
07:33The whole dining room went dead silent.
07:36Dad's lips moved.
07:37But no word came out.
07:39Come on, sweetie.
07:40Let's go home.
07:43After that night, dad caved.
07:46So Jane's rehab plan was locked in.
07:48The treatment would happen at the private recovery center, the one dad built for mom as a gift.
07:53The very next day, mom packed me up and moved us there.
07:57The place was beautiful, like a fairytale estate.
08:01Everyone there bowed their heads when they saw mom.
08:04They respected her, and they were scared of her.
08:08Jane's treatment room was in the very back.
08:10I snuck over once.
08:13Through the thick glass, I saw Jane strapped to a treatment bed.
08:18Mom stood over her in a white coat and a face mask.
08:22She held two metal probes in her hands, moved them slowly along Jane's arm.
08:27Every time they touched her, Jane's whole body jolted.
08:30And then came the screaming.
08:34I ran all the way back to my room.
08:39Dad came to see me once.
08:41His eyes were bloodshot.
08:43Even his uniform looked wrinkled.
08:45He picked me up and held me close.
08:48Sienna, I know your mom got hurt.
08:52But Jane...
08:53She doesn't deserve this.
08:56You need to talk to your mom.
08:58Tell her to stop.
09:01If this keeps going, Jane's gonna lose her mind.
09:03I asked him.
09:05Dad?
09:06Do you still love mom?
09:07He didn't answer.
09:08He froze.
09:10Like somehow I could keep him from falling apart.
09:13Sienna, the adult world is very complicated.
09:17You'll understand when you're older.
09:19I didn't understand.
09:20I just knew mom wasn't happy.
09:23A month later, they brought her out.
09:27She was so thin, she barely looked human.
09:37She'd lost her mind when dad came to take her home.
09:40He saw what was left of her.
09:43But he didn't yell at mom.
09:45He didn't yell at mom.
09:46He just looked at her.
09:49Audrey, you win.
09:51The war just started.
09:54Dad carried Jane out of the center dot, and I really thought that was the end of it.
09:59I was wrong.
10:01Dad hit back fast.
10:03And he hit harder.
10:05He wasn't coming for mom's career or her reputation.
10:08He was coming for the thing she loved most.
10:11Me.
10:12Dad pulled strings to have me transferred out.
10:16He sent me to some remote boarding school.
10:19Run like a military camp.
10:21Your mom had made you soft.
10:24You need to be toughened up.
10:26It's for you.
10:28You lay one hand on her, Vincent.
10:30Just try it.
10:33Or what, Audrey?
10:34You'll do what?
10:35Don't forget.
10:36I'm Sienna's legal guardian.
10:39I get to decide how she's raised.
10:41You like playing games so much?
10:43Fine.
10:44Let's really play.
10:48Let's see who's better at this.
10:50Your little torture tricks.
10:53Or the way I train fresh recruits.
10:55Mom was shaking with rage.
10:58But she couldn't stop him.
11:00An order from him was law.
11:03Nobody said no.
11:08They took me away in a military jeep.
11:11Dot Mom chased the car down the long driveway.
11:13I pressed my face against the back window.
11:16Watching her get smaller.
11:18And smaller dot.
11:20Until she was just a dot.
11:21Then gone.
11:22That place wasn't a school.
11:25It was hell on earth.
11:28The drill instructors all called Dad General.
11:30And they gave me special treatment.
11:32I was five.
11:33And they made me train with boys twice my age.
11:36Every morning started at five.
11:37Then a six mile run with weight on our backs.
11:40If you didn't finish, you didn't eat.
11:41In the daytime, it was hand-to-hand drills.
11:44Shooting practice.
11:45Obstacle courses.
11:46My body was too small.
11:48I couldn't keep up.
11:49When I fell, no one helped me up.
11:51All I got was a bark in my face.
11:53The General's daughter, and this is all you've got?
11:56Don't embarrass your father!
12:00What are you crying for?
12:02Tears are for cowards!
12:03At night, I'd lie on a cold metal slab they called a bed.
12:06My body covered in bruises.
12:08I missed my mom so much it felt like a physical pain in my chest.
12:12Then I started getting sick.
12:13A lot.
12:14High fevers.
12:15One after another.
12:16The base doctor would just give me a shot.
12:18The General's orders.
12:20A little sickness builds character.
12:22Sweat it out.
12:23I really thought I was going to die there.
12:25Then one night, during a storm, the fever came back worse than ever.
12:29I was lying there half out of it, burning up and freezing at the same time.
12:33Then the dorm door got kicked open.
12:34A tall figure stood in the doorway, all backlit and dark.
12:37Rain dripped off his cap.
12:39It was Dad.
12:39He put his hand on my forehead.
12:41I was burning.
12:42He went quiet for a long time.
12:44Then he pulled out his phone and made a call.
12:46Audrey, want to see your daughter?
12:48Come to the old chemical plant on the west side.
12:50Alone.
12:51And don't try anything.
12:52Then he looked down at me.
12:53Or you can come pick up her body.
12:55Then he hung up.
12:56He yanked me out of bed, wrapped me in a blanket, and threw me into the car.
13:01I had no idea where he was taking me.
13:03But I knew one thing.
13:05There was no love left in his eyes.
13:07Just hate.
13:08Wild, ugly hate.
13:10He hadn't sent me away to make me stronger.
13:12He was using me to break Mom.
13:14And right then, loud sirens.
13:16Closing in fast.
13:18The whole plant lit up.
13:19Flashlights cut through the dark from every direction.
13:22SWAT team.
13:23Armed to the teeth.
13:24Dad was surrounded.
13:26The smile on Dad's face froze.
13:28He stared at everything around him like his brain just stopped working.
13:31You...
13:32You called the cops?
13:33Then someone stepped out from behind the SWAT team.
13:36I knew him.
13:37He was the director of the recovery center.
13:39Mom's most trusted right-hand man.
13:41He walked over to the tank.
13:42Looked inside.
13:43Then turned back to Dad with this almost pitying smile.
13:47General, you lost.
13:48Mrs. Audrey knew you'd use Miss Sienna to force her hand.
13:51So she had the sulfur acid swapped out ahead of time.
13:54It's all water.
13:55Dad went completely still.
13:56He looked at the tank.
13:58Then at Mom.
13:59Standing there.
13:59Alive.
14:00His expression shifted from shock.
14:02To fury.
14:03To absolute crushing defeat.
14:04He collapsed to the floor like some old lion with its teeth ripped out.
14:07Audrey, you're colder than I ever knew.
14:10Mom climbed out of the tank.
14:11She was soaked through.
14:12But her eyes were blazing.
14:14She walked straight up to Dad and said every word slowly.
14:18Vincent, I told you.
14:19The war was just getting started.
14:23You really thought kidnapping Sienna would break me?
14:26You still have no idea what a mother will do!
14:29And you think way too highly of yourself.
14:32It happened fast after that.
14:35Abuse of power.
14:36Malicious retaliation.
14:38Kidnapping his own daughter.
14:39He was taken away by a military court for investigation.
14:43Overnight, the Carter family came crashing down.
14:46Mom took me back to the recovery center.
14:48After the fever broke, I was sick for weeks.
14:51Mom never left my side.
14:53She gave me every dose of medicine herself.
14:55Wiped me down when I was sweating through the sheets.
14:57Sat by my bed and told me story after story until I fell asleep.
15:01Her arms were still warm.
15:02She still held me like I was her whole world.
15:05But something had changed.
15:07I could feel it.
15:07When she looked at me now, there was still love.
15:10But there was something else too.
15:12Something sharp.
15:13Something watchful.
15:14Something I was too young to name.
15:16Six months later, dad's sentence came down.
15:19He lost everything.
15:21His rank.
15:22His honors.
15:23He was discharged in disgrace.
15:25And sentenced to ten years.
15:27The decorated general, who used to stand straight with a chest full of medals.
15:30Now he was just an inmate in a cell.
15:33The day the news came in, mom was trimming one of her orchids.
15:36She did it slowly, carefully, like she was finishing a piece of art.
15:43Sienna, do you hate your dad?
15:45I shook my head.
15:46I didn't even know what hate really was.
15:48I just felt sad.
15:49Mom set the shears down and ran a hand over my hair.
15:52That's good.
15:53Hate wears you out.
15:56The cleanest way to deal with someone is to cut them out of your world.
16:02Like trimming away the dead leaves.
16:04She pointed to the clipped leaves on the polished white floor.
16:07A moment later, the maid swept them up.
16:10And they were gone.
16:11From that day on, mom started teaching me different things.
16:14No more fairy tales.
16:16No more piano.
16:17She taught me anatomy.
16:19Every bone.
16:20Every artery.
16:20Every nerve.
16:22She taught me chemistry.
16:23What poisons were made of.
16:25How they moved through the body.
16:27What they ruined first.
16:28She taught me psychology, too.
16:31How to read people.
16:32How to find their weaknesses and exploit them.
16:34Deanna, I can't protect you forever.
16:37The sharpest weapon in this world isn't a gun or knife.
16:40It's your mind.
16:41You have to be stronger than everyone.
16:43Smarter than everyone.
16:45Colder than everyone.
16:46That's the only way nobody will ever hurt you again.
16:48And little by little, I became her masterpiece.
16:51Calm.
16:52Logical.
16:53Cold.
16:54Then ten years were just...
16:55Gone.
16:56The year I turned fifteen, dad got out.
16:59He looked old.
17:00And whatever fire used to live in his eyes, he came to find us.
17:04He just stood there, a few yards away.
17:06Sienna, you're all grown up now.
17:08I didn't answer him.
17:10I just kept watering the flowers.
17:12Mon's black tunips.
17:13Black swaux.
17:14That's what she called them.
17:15He nervously twist his hands.
17:17Then pulled something out from behind his back.
17:19An old rag doll.
17:20This used to be your favorite.
17:22I kept it all these years.
17:23I looked at it.
17:24He'd brought it back from a trip overseas when I was five.
17:27Later, Jane had thrown it in the trash.
17:30What do you want?
17:30Sienna, I know I was wrong.
17:33For ten years, that's all I've done.
17:35Think about what I did.
17:37Regret it.
17:38Can you...
17:38Can you ask your mom to see me?
17:40I want to tell her I'm sorry.
17:42I just want one meeting.
17:44One.
17:44He was practically begging.
17:46Then mom stepped out of the house.
17:47She wore a flowing white dress.
17:49Ten years hadn't taken anything from her.
17:51If anything, she looked more royal and untouchable.
17:53She stood at the top of the steps, looking down at him like he was a stranger.
18:00Vincent, why are you here?
18:02The second he saw her, his whole body shook.
18:05He took a few quick steps forward, then stopped.
18:11Audrey, I...
18:12Get out!
18:14That was all she said.
18:16Two words.
18:17His fists clenched.
18:19The begging in his eyes curdled into bitterness.
18:22Then hate.
18:24Audrey!
18:25Don't push me!
18:26I already paid for what I did!
18:29What more do you want from me?
18:31You really can't tolerate me?
18:34I'm still Sienna's father!
18:36Mom smiled.
18:37It was colder than the ice in winter.
18:40Father?
18:40A man who used his own daughter as a weapon?
18:42Vincent, you don't get to use that word.
18:44I'm warning you!
18:45Get out!
18:46And you never show your face here again!
18:48Or I will gladly send you back for another ten years.
18:51He snapped.
18:52Audrey!
18:53You poisonous bitch!
18:55You did this!
18:56You ruined my whole life!
18:58He lunged at her like a wild animal.
19:00I moved without thinking and stepped in front of Mom.
19:03But he swerved past me.
19:05His target was never Mom.
19:06It was the tulips behind me.
19:08The black tulips.
19:10Those flowers were priceless.
19:12Mom had spent ten years importing, crossbreeding, and growing them into perfection.
19:16They were her masterpiece.
19:17The thing she planned to unveil at an international flower show.
19:21He wanted to destroy them.
19:22Just like he tried to destroy me ten years ago.
19:24He wanted to wreck the one thing Mom loved most.
19:27But before his foot even hit the flower bed, he let out this awful scream.
19:31Then he dropped.
19:32Straight down.
19:33His whole body locked up.
19:34Then started jerk-spilled from the corner of his mouth.
19:37His eyes rolled back.
19:38A heart attack.
19:38A massive, bad one.
19:40Mom just stood there and watched him thrash on the ground.
19:43No panic.
19:44No rush.
19:44No pity.
19:45She took out her phone and called 911.
19:49Hello?
19:50We have a cardiac emergency at Rosewood Recovery Center.
19:53Her voice was calm.
19:54Dot so calm it could have been a weather report.
19:56She gave them the address.
19:58Then hung up.
20:00After that, she walked over to me.
20:02She gently stroked the velvety petal of a black tulip.
20:05You see, sweetie?
20:07Trash belongs where trash belongs.
20:09Then she glanced at him on the ground.
20:12Polluting my garden.
20:13What a mess.
20:15The ambulance screamed away, its siren fading into the distance.
20:18By the time they loaded Dad in, he had fallen into a deep coma.
20:21I stood there staring at that ragball on the ground.
20:23A storm of emotions churning inside me.
20:25Mom walked over, picked up the doll, and tossed it into the trash.
20:29Useless trash.
20:31Just takes up space.
20:33Then she took my hand and led me into the study.
20:35On the wall was this huge medical chart.
20:38A full map of the human nervous system.
20:41Mom raised a finger and pointed right at the heart.
20:43See this?
20:44The vagus nerve.
20:45Stimulate it just right with a specific drug or chemical.
20:48And the heart rate plummets.
20:49Blood pressure crashes.
20:51It induces cardiac arrest.
20:52It looks exactly like a natural heart attack.
20:55Then she turned and looked at me.
20:56Her eyes were sharp.
20:58Sienna, want to guess how I did it?
21:00A chill shot straight down my back.
21:02And then I remembered.
21:03When Dad charged at her, I stepped in front of Mom without even thinking.
21:08I was still holding the little garden sprayer.
21:11Inside it was the plant food Mom had mixed herself.
21:15Just a few drops had splashed onto Dad's hand.
21:18By accident.
21:20The plant food?
21:24My voice came out shaky.
21:26Mom nodded.
21:27Almost proud.
21:29Smart girl.
21:30It was a custom neurotoxin.
21:32Colorless.
21:33Odorless.
21:34It absorbs through skin contact.
21:36The onset time depends on the dose and absorption rate.
21:39I calculated it perfectly.
21:41Just enough time for him to reach my flower bed before it hit.
21:44She sounded like a professor explaining a complex equation.
21:47But the answer to her equation was a man's life.
21:49Mom, you wanted to kill him?
21:53Kill?
21:54No.
21:55I just wanted him to shut up for good.
21:57A dead man doesn't talk.
21:59And neither does a vegetable.
22:00He can't run around ruining my name that way.
22:02This is better for you.
22:04And better for the estate.
22:05She said it like it was obvious.
22:07Like there was nothing wrong with it at all.
22:09And right then, I finally understood what she meant ten years ago.
22:12When she told Dad,
22:14The war was just getting started.
22:15She never wanted to send him to prison.
22:17That was never the endgame.
22:19What she wanted was to erase him.
22:22Completely.
22:23Like he'd never existed at all.
22:25Three days later, the hospital called.
22:27Dad survived.
22:28But his brain had gone too long without oxygen.
22:30He was in a vegetulative state.
22:32They transferred him to our family's recovery center.
22:34They put him in the same room Jane used to stay in.
22:36Mom personally designed his rehab plan.
22:39Every day,
22:40I watched the nurses wheel him down the hall.
22:42Straight into that treatment room.
22:44The same one that used to echo with Jane's screams.
22:47I never knew exactly what happened in there.
22:49Nobody told me.
22:50But I could see what it was doing to him.
22:52Day by day, Dad got thinner.
22:55Smaller.
22:55Weaker.
22:56Like a plant being slowly starved of water and light.
22:59And outside, in the garden, Mom's black swan tulips kept blooming.
23:03Richer.
23:04Darker.
23:04On my 18th birthday, Mom threw me a massive debut party.
23:08It was held right there in the grand ballroom at the estate.
23:11This is my daughter, Sienna.
23:13And one day, this estate will be hers.
23:17People clapped and smiled.
23:19Military brass, political elites, top physicians,
23:22who ran half the city with a phone call.
23:25And all I could feel was pressure.
23:27I couldn't breathe.
23:29It was the most beautiful cage I had ever seen.
23:31Halfway through the party, the doors burst open.
23:34An uninvited guest walked in.
23:36It's Jane.
23:37And behind her stood several uniformed cops.
23:40Audrey.
23:41The whole room went dead silent.
23:43Ten years!
23:45And I'm finally back!
23:47I'm back to show everyone the monster you really are!
23:51Then she turned to the officers and raised her voice.
23:53Officers, I want to file a report.
23:55Ten years ago, Audrey assaulted me and left my hands damaged forever.
24:00Ten years ago, she framed her own husband, Vincent, and sent him to prison.
24:04And not long ago, she poisoned him and turned him into a vegetable!
24:08She is a murderer!
24:11The room exploded in whispers.
24:13Every single eye was on my mother.
24:16But Mom didn't flinch.
24:18She took a sip of her champagne.
24:23Jane, you can make up whatever story you want.
24:25But if you're going to accuse me of something, where's your proof?
24:29Proof?
24:30Jane laughed, a harsh, ugly sound.
24:32She pulled a thick file from her briefcase and slammed it down on a table.
24:37This is the proof!
24:38For ten years, I have spent every single day digging up your dirt!
24:41I found the employee who switched the acid with water.
24:43He's ready to testify.
24:45I have the purchase records for the neurotoxin you used on Vincent.
24:47Audrey, this is the day you go down!
24:50The officers picked up the file and began to read.
24:52For the first time, Mom's expression shifted a little.
24:55But it wasn't fear.
24:56It was amusement.
24:58She looked at Jane like she was a joke with a bad ending.
25:00Jane, do you know your biggest weakness?
25:02You're stupid.
25:03And you're impatient.
25:04You really think finding a few scraps of paper means you can take me down?
25:08Did it ever cross your mind that maybe I wanted you to find the proof?
25:12Jane's face went pale.
25:13What the hell do you mean?
25:14Mom smiled.
25:15It means exactly what you think it means.
25:18I let you find all of it.
25:20And I let you walk in here tonight with the officers at your back.
25:23Then she snapped her fingers.
25:24The ballroom doors slammed shut.
25:26From every corner of the room, men in black suits emerged from the shadows.
25:30In seconds, Jane and the offices were completely surrounded.
25:34The whole ballroom became an iron box.
25:36Sealed, suffocating, inescapable.
25:38The guests gasped, shrinking back against the walls.
25:41Jane started to panic.
25:43Audrey, what are you doing?
25:44Are you insane?
25:46Jane? You're attacking police officers!
25:49Mom shook her head.
25:50She walked straight up to Jane.
25:52No, I'm just here to finish what I started ten years ago.
25:55I'm taking out the trash.
25:57For good.
25:59Jane's eyes went wide with terror.
26:01She tried to pull back, but two guards held her arms in a vice grip.
26:05Aubrey! Are you mad?
26:07There are people everywhere!
26:09They're all watching!
26:11Mom let out this soft little laugh.
26:13Then she picked up a microphone and faced the room.
26:17Everyone, I'm so sorry.
26:18We had a small interruption.
26:20Thank you for your patience.
26:21And now, please enjoy a special show I prepared for tonight.
26:26The second she finished speaking, the giant screen in the center of the ballroom lit up.
26:31Security footage started playing.
26:35And on that screen was Jane, sneaking into the records room, stealing files, meeting with disgruntled ex-employees, handing them
26:44envelopes thick with cash.
26:46Then, the final shot, Jane was in the arms of a man.
26:51I knew him.
26:52I knew that face.
26:54He had been dad's former aide.
26:57The one who betrayed him.
27:00The one who ended up at a military tribunal.
27:02After the whole plot blow up.
27:07He was out of prison.
27:09And all this time, he and Jane had been working together.
27:14Her crush on my father was a lie.
27:17It was all a long con.
27:20She wanted revenge.
27:24Revenge on the two people who ruined her lover's life.
27:28My father and my mother.
27:30When the video ended, the room went dead silent.
27:34No whispers.
27:35No gasps.
27:37No.
27:38No, that's not what happened.
27:39She set me up!
27:41Audrey set me up!
27:42Mom walked over to her.
27:44Her eyes were pure ice.
27:46Set you up?
27:47All I did was put your own actions on display.
27:49Ten years ago, you and your lover worked together to trap my husband.
27:53You tried to steal classified military intel.
27:55You nearly ruined his life.
27:57I took your hands, and I sent him to prison.
28:00That was me being merciful.
28:03But you learned nothing.
28:04You really thought I didn't know what you were doing all these years?
28:07Every person you tracked down,
28:09every meeting you set up,
28:10every word out of your mouth.
28:13I knew all of it.
28:14I kept you around because I wanted to see how much noise a stray dog could still make.
28:19And honestly, I'm disappointed.
28:22Every word hit Jane like a blade.
28:25The officers saw it, too.
28:27They closed the files and stared coldly at Jane.
28:31Mrs. Jane, you need to come with us.
28:33We're reopening the investigation into the espionage case.
28:37Jane broke.
28:38Completely.
28:39She ripped free from the guards and lunged.
28:41Not at my mother.
28:43At me.
28:44Somehow, she had a knife.
28:45Audrey!
28:46If I can't kill you, I'll kill your daughter!
28:49Let's see how you feel when you lose the only thing you love!
28:52Everything happened too fast.
28:55Nobody moved in time.
28:57All I saw was the flash of steel coming at my heart.
29:00But it never re-reached me.
29:02My mother was there.
29:03She had stepped in front of me.
29:05The knife drove deep into her stomach.
29:07Blood spread across her white dress.
29:10Bright red.
29:11Violent.
29:12Like a rose blooming in fresh snow.
29:14It felt like someone hit mute on the whole world.
29:16I just watched her fall.
29:18And my mind just blanked out.
29:20Mom!
29:20I dropped to my knees and caught her before she hit the ground.
29:23Warm blood soaked through my dress.
29:25So sticky.
29:25So hot.
29:26Call an ambulance!
29:28Now!
29:28The whole ballroom erupted into chaos.
29:30Jane was taken down on the spot.
29:32And while Mom lay there in a pool of blood,
29:34Jane threw her head back and started laughing.
29:36Full-on manic.
29:37Audrey!
29:38You failed!
29:40In the end, you still failed!
29:42I couldn't hear her.
29:43I couldn't hear anyone.
29:44My whole world had narrowed down to one thing.
29:46Mom's breathing.
29:47Getting weaker.
29:48And weaker.
29:49Her hand clamped around mine.
29:50Her lips moved like she was trying to say something.
29:52I leaned down fast, putting my ear right by her mouth.
29:55Sienna, don't be scared.
29:57Did you like my gift?
30:00I jerked my head up and looked at the chaos around me.
30:02And a terrible thought hit me like lightning.
30:04This was part of her plan, too.
30:06She had used her own life as the final gift for my coming of age.
30:09Was this the last lesson?
30:10The most brutal one of all.
30:11If you cut the weeds, you rip out the roots.
30:14She was using her own death to give Jane a life sentence.
30:16No parole.
30:17No escape.
30:18And with her blood, she was clearing the last obstacle from my path.
30:21Laying down the road to my future herself.
30:24The ambulance finally arrived.
30:26When they lifted Mom onto the stretcher,
30:29she used the last bit of strength to press something cold into my palm.
30:33It was the silver scalpel.
30:35The one she had polished over and over again.
30:38The blade caught the light, and in it, I saw my own face, torn apart by tears.
30:43The hospital hallway was bright as day, but it felt like a freezer.
30:48The light above the OR stayed on for a long, long time.
30:51Then finally, it went out.
30:53The doctor walked toward me.
30:55He looked exhausted.
30:56He just shook his head.
31:00I'm sorry.
31:01We did everything we could.
31:03He said.
31:04I just stood there.
31:05I didn't cry.
31:06I didn't scream.
31:08I just tightened my grip on the scalpel in my hand.
31:11Okay, Mom.
31:12I got your present.
31:14You can rest now.
31:16From now on, I'll be you.
31:18A better you.
31:19A more perfect you.
31:22I will protect the kingdom you left me.
31:26And anyone who tries to touch it will be the next piece of trash on my operating table.
31:31I looked up toward the window at the end of the hallway.
31:34Inside it, people had passed peacefully.
31:38Outside it, the night was dark.
31:43And my war, it was just getting started.
31:46I was just getting started.
31:46I feel that was差, but I'm sorry.
